GRAPH VIEWER
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a memory having data stored therein;
a communication interface configured to provide information to be displayed on a display device; and
a processor operatively coupled to the memory and the communication interface and configured to use the communication interface to provide a graphical user interface to be displayed on the display device, wherein the graphical user interface comprises a graph viewing tool for charting data stored in the memory, the graph viewing tool comprising;
a first display area displaying a first axis and a second axis of a graph, the first axis representing a first parameter of the data over a first range of values;
a second display area displaying a third axis representing the first parameter over a second range of values; and
a first tool and a second tool displayed in the second display area proximate the third axis, wherein the first tool and the second tool are configured such that they can be moved relative to each other and relative to the third axis to increase or decrease the first range of values displayed along the first axis in the first display area.

14. A method of displaying data, the method comprising:
-
providing a graphical user interface for display on a user terminal, wherein the graphical user interface comprises; a first graph of a first portion of the data, a second graph of a second portion of the data, the second portion of the data including the first portion of the data, and a first sliding tool and a second sliding tool displayed on the second graph and configured such that a user can move the first and second sliding tools relative to each other and relative to the second graph to increase or decrease the amount of the data displayed by the first graph; receiving an electronic communication from the user terminal indicating that a user moved the first and second sliding tools relative to each other and relative to the second graph; and using a processor to increase or decrease the amount of the data displayed by the first graph based on the user'"'"'s movement of the first and second sliding tools relative to each other and relative to the second graph. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
